Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The horse latitudes are regions of high atmospheric pressure and calm winds located at around 30 degrees north and south of the Equator. This is caused by the sinking of air from the upper atmosphere, which creates a high pressure zone. The name "horse latitudes" comes from a historical term used by sailors who were stranded in these regions and were forced to throw their horses overboard to conserve water and supplies.
